EDITOR GRAPHIC: Allow me the
use of your columns to call the atten-
ton of the Board of County Commits
sioners, who are now in session, TO the
matter of their furnishing medical at
tendance to the county poor.
The system, that has obtained for
years, of letting contracts to the low
est bidder to do this work in the sew
eral districts, is most pernicious. In
the first place, it secures the employ
ment of some ''cheap John,'' who i'm
AGNES that there is an honor connected
with the position, that must give to
him an eclat, and, in this way, pay him
for his services. 1t is true that for
some years these contracts have been
taken at such prices that, should the
parties to them honestly comply, they
must lose money. 1t has been left to
other physicians to do large share of
this work through the neglect of those
holding these contracts to do the SER
vice. This is hardship that the med
ical profession OF the county have
often complained of, and the time has
come that our county should get out of
the old ruts and stop paying to anyone
money for a service that is not hon
estly done. 1t is true that the money
paid to these parties may we'll be con-
sidered a sinecure. There are many
ways that might be adopted by the
Board to give the county a more re-
liable service. The building of poor
house and change to allowing town
ship trustees the right to secure the
services of the nearest physician when
wanted by the poor Of the town, the
county paying reasonable fee for said
work. The Barton County Medical as
ISOLATION has a bylaw prohibiting it's
members from making private bid to
secure a contract to attend the poor of
the county.
Hoping that the Hon. Board of Com
may make some change in
the matter as to secure a more reliable
service, am, etc., PHYSICIAN.

A Bit Of Ancient History.

MT EultOf.
Ten years ago road was petitioned
for from Great Bend to Ellinwood, be-
ginning at the east end of Cowgirl ST.,
Great Bend, and running diagonally
across sections and north of the A. T.
s. S. F. railroad. The viewers, after
consuming two days in looking over the
ground, unanimously reported in favor
of laying the road on the section line
east from EllinWood street, Great Bend.
Two or three persons succeeded in caus-
ing the county Commissioners to reject
the report, and no road was located at
that time. Nor was any further action
taken until about one year ago, when
other viewers were appointed and the
same conclusion was reached as in the
first instance, and the report was adopt
ed by the Commissioners. AS yet, the
road is not opened for travel, and the
question arises: why is this thus? Are
these same two OF three persons trying
to block the wheels for fear their prop
erty will be less valuable by reason of
it's not lying on the line of the Great
Bend and EllinwoOd thOroughfare? Let
the authorities who have these matters
in charge explain. Q.

ANOTHER GREAT ENTERPRISE IN
AUGURATED.
Street Railway 10 be Laid Immediately
From the Santa Fe Depot up Main
to the Missouri Pacific Depot.
The Boom Gathers in Force and Inten-
Sity.

From Tuesdays Daily Graphic.
Pursuant to a call made through yes
terday's GRAPHIC meeting was held
last night in the office of D. n. Heller
for the purpose of taking some steps
toward building street railway i'll
Great Bend. The meeting was in
every way harmonious and satisfactory
and Great Bend is assured a street
railway. The meeting was called to
order and D. N. Heller was elected
chairman. The Street Railway Com
pany then proceeded to elect their Off
GERS for the ensuing year. The follow
ing is list:
President, D. n. Heller; Vice Presi-
dent, G. Samuels; Secretary and Treas
urer, A. C.. Schermerhorn.
The board of directors is composed
of the above named officers and the
following named gentlemen: E. w.
Moses, j. c.. Gwinn, G. n. Moses, A. j.
auckland and w. II. II. Keeney. The
executive committee is as follows: D.
n. Heller, w. II. II. Keeney and c.
SamuelS.
A resolution was then passed max
ing the capital stock of the company
$50 900, of which amount $24, 100 was
Immediately subscribed by the gentle
men present.
1t was decided to begin work with
out delay and build the first line
through Main street, connecting the
two depots. The work is to be first
class, the cars of the latest and most
approved construction and as good in
every respect as those of Kansas City
OF st. Louis. Steel rails will be used,
and nothing in the way Of slip-shod
work will be accepted.
The meeting having performed its
work adjourned.
Thus may the outside world see that
Great Bends boom is growing and
business is increasing. But we are yet
only at the beginning, and now is the
time to come and share the prosperity
that surely awaits us.

NO EXAGGERATION.

No amount of exaggerated state
ments will give permancy to the growth
of town. Such a course may for
awhile give town or country a tempo
rary and fitful prosperity, but i'll the
end the result will be disastrous. We
regret to say that there are towns in
Kansas where this pernitiOus practice
has been followed, and strangers have
been inveigled by false reports into
making investments that have proved
far from remunerative. We are glad
to say that such instances are rare.
Kansas, all of it, is enjoying an era of
of ordinary ability who can not make
money any place in the state by invest
ment.
We have from day to day stated
through the columns of the GRAPHIC
some of the many inducements offered
by this city and county to those seek
ing homes or investments. The real,
genuine source of our boom is our
cheap farming lands, and the same
thing is true of most of the towns in
Kansas. We have soil here as good
as any in Illinois that can be bought
for less than one-fifth what land sells
for in that state. This is what makes
the country grow and when the country
grows, so do the towns.
AS to location, Great Bend has the
best of any town west of Hutchinson,
and we have no hesitancy in saying
that it will soon grow into large city.
But we want to impress on our readers,
who are unacquainted with the city
the fact that Barton county is as rich
as can be found in the state, and it is
therefore no idle speculation when we
predict 'that a few years will see
great city at this point.

LIS Kansas reputation, as a great
state, on good basis; will it stand
the test of coming years. are ques-
tions which are daily propounded by
our eastern friends. Now, these are
parties who would like to invest their
money in Kansas property, yet, are a
little afraid to- do so, perhaps, be-
cause, as they think, some one will
be left to hold, what they imagine
might turn out to be worthless prop
erty, but who ever heard of Kan
sas man being left on anything in the
way of real estate, which, at the
time, was purchased at market value?
But, in every instance we have ever
heard of, they turned out to be good
investments, yielding handsome profits
to the investors. Never, in the his
tory of the states, has there been SO
productive a field open to spectators
as the State of Kansas, yielding, as
it does, quick sales and large profits.
To the eye of a careful observer, one,
looks far into the future and takes
into consideration that Kansas has
work among the capitalist of the
East and the unlimited resources it
possesses to sustain this reputation.
Kansas appears as one of the GER
tainties and not mere fabrication of
the Imagination.

The DEMOCRAT said, during the
tendency of the Woman's Suffrage
bill, that.lf it became law, the party
responsible for its passage would rue
the day it was spread upon our stat
ute books. That prophecy is finding
a literal fulfllment. The recent mu-
nicipal elections demonstrate that it is
utterly futile for the advocates of the
measure to try to bolster it up with
sentimental arguments. Their princi-
pal argument has been that the infu-
ence of women was needed to purify
politics. But the recent elections in
the various cities of the state have
robbed them. of this much>used ar
gument. In Difference to the noble
womanhood of Kansas, we yield
TO Nd one, and when we
say that politics, with its malignant
passions and corrupting influences, is
unsuited to her nobler nature and
higher instincts. we think we pay a
higher compliment than any emenat-
ing from the most furious advocates
of the bill.

A DELEGATION from EllinwoOd, con-
sisting of " s. Musil and others, were
in town Monday to see if some steps
could not be taken to compel Great
Bend township to go ahead and put in
proper condition, the road between
this place and Ellinwood. 1t seems
that the trustee of Lakin township has
gone ahead as ordered by the commits
sioners some time ago and opened up
the road through that township some
six miles. The west end of the road,
or that part of it being in Great Bend
township, has had nothing done to it,
and is not in passable condition, es-
pecially in bad weather. Should not
our township trustee attend to this
matter at once? We believe it will
pay us to make an effort to put the
roads leading into the city in good con-
ditiOn, and, cannot understand why
the road in question has been neglected.
